If you’re a fan of Kaia Gerber’s street style like us, you know she rarely goes without her signature Repetto ballet flats. She wears them so frequently that it almost seems like she has multiple pairs and no other footwear. Last week, my colleagues and I even joked about this. In a surprising turn of events, Gerber was recently seen wearing sneakers, as if in response to our playful comments.
The sneakers I’m referring to are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, dressed in a striking red, white, and blue color scheme. Yes, you read that correctly. While this bold and patriotic combination is a surprising choice for someone who usually opts for a sleek, minimalist look, Gerber manages to pull it off with effortless elegance. The white backdrop with vibrant red and blue details perfectly illustrates how to create a statement while maintaining a classic vibe.

On Kaia Gerber: Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 ‘White Blue’ Sneakers ($117)
Gerber has a knack for influencing others on what to purchase, so I predict we will see the red, white, and blue sneaker trend all over the streets of L.A., NYC, and London very soon. With that said, keep scrolling to grab a pair for yourself.
